Donna Eckwortzel
Donna is just as spunky as her horses. Even though her background is business and contract development in the high tech industry, it is her healing experiences she has had with horses as a teenager, something tucked in her heart long ago, that drove her to start Hearts Landing Ranch.
Perfect for her purpose

Monica Wroblicky (aka Supergirl)
She first came to the ranch in 2015 for local church Bayside's "serve day", where she helped outfit the horse barn. She didn't know, but at the time she was a pioneer of helping to launch the horse therapy program. She's learning how to drive minis and balance herself on horse back. She has a love for the military and wants to explore use of the horse therapy program for our service men and women in need.
